Memorial Day Celebrations

We had a great Memorial Day Celebration today. The day began with thoughts of Jacob and Oakley...can't wait to see them again!

After some work at home, we went to Merrill Park where the city puts up an exhibit of flags in honor of those from Eagle who have died in battle--it's a very beautiful site.


Then we played in the sand and had some jumping competitions... I passed.



We then went on a hike from the Park to Rock Island...which is almost nonexistent due to the high flow of the river...but still OH SO WONDERFUL!!!!

Making lizard traps


A very cool Swiss Family Robinson like arbor!!

We Stopped at the banks of Rock Island for a picnic and some rock skipping.

A hike back, some time on the playground, and home for a little work. For Family Night we ate pizza and made chocolate milkshakes that were DELICIOUS (rice milk, bananas, carob powder, and coconut milk icecream sweetened with agave)!
Justin, Geoff and I played Zarehemla and are still speaking to each other...ha ha!

A VERY FUN DAY!
